Month End Author Spotlight: John Green

December ended a few days ago and that means my month filled with John Green books ended as well. I had so much fun reading his novels. He is a funny man. I cannot wait to read his future books (especially his upcoming novel he co-wrote with David Levithan Will Grayson, Will Grayson).

Just a little bio...
John was born in 1977 and grew up in Florida. He went to boarding school in Alabama (as did his character in Looking for Alaska). When he was a kid he wanted to be an earthworm scientist, but he discovered he was good at "telling lies" and "sitting." And that is why he is a writer. Other jobs included working as a student chaplain at a children's hospital and a book reviewer. John Green is now currently working on the screenplay for Looking for Alaska. ***Want more info...make sure to check out his website.***

J.G.'s books...
Looking for Alaska (2005)
An Abundance of Katherines (2006)
Paper Towns (2008)
Let it Snow: Three Holiday Romances with Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle (2008)
